The Energon Pub

Hey, guys!

The concept is simple. Submit your episode idea and get an official summary with episode inspired artwork to be shown in the next posting. Rules as follows:

1) One submission per user.
2) Each episode must be capable of being resolved in a 30 minute time window.
3) Please do not submit full stories. Just a basic episode outline and your "key highlights".
4) Winner will be chosen this evening!

Sorry about the time frame, guys, but I have a lot of work to do. I'll only be able to do a sketch in between work, so please no specific art requests. I'll pick a scene from your sypnosis that I like and do artwork inspired by that. The best suggestion is to make it sound exciting.

Have fun guys!

do we post the submission or pm you?

Gladiator

Springer has just been asigned to the recently built Autobot City on Earth. On his way there, his ship is attacked and Springer is taken prisoner by unknown assailents. He's taken to an arena where he's forced into battle after battle. Will Springer survive his brutal bouts? Even if he does, can he stand up to the might of Monstructor?


Highlights:
- First apearance of Springer.
- First apearance of deluxe Insectocons.
- First apearance of Monstructor.
- First apearance of Quintessons. (silhouette)
- Unable to defeat Monstructor by himself, Springer instead tricks him into smashing a hole in the wall of the arena. He is able to make it back to his ship and escape. Unknown to him, he is being watched the whole time by who is later revealed to be the Quintessons.

Spark of a Hero

On a routine shuttle mission to Earth from Moonbase 1,an unknown Autobot is attacked by Bludgeon who has stowed away on the shuttle to sabotage Autobot city once and for all.Battling brutally on the shuttle,and in space they crash on earth.Bludgeon,using his metallikato techniques,defeats the Autobot(who we now see has a very distinct yellow flame pattern on his cybertronian body style).Transforming into his tank mode,Bludgeon prepares to deliver the death blow when Optimus Prime discovers them while on patrol.Beating back Bludgeon,Optimus sees that the Autobot is critically wounded and will not survive the trip to Autobot City.Remembering that Alpha Trion had told him once that the Autobot Matrix of Leadership had enough power to heal and reformat one time,and one time only,(outside of reformatting an autobot into a new Prime)Optimus uses the Matrix to do this.Thus Hot Rod is reborn......but at what cost?

Highlights-
-1st appearance of Hot Rod(both Cybertronian and Earth forms)
-1st appearance of prePretender Bludgeon
-1st appearance of the Matrix
-Reason given why the Matrix will be unable to heal Optimus during the events of the movie
